the glittering stars of British society, Sofka
•
ZinoviefPs grandparents lived and loved with
abandon. Robert
Heb er-
Percy was a dashing young man
who would rather have a drink than open a book, so his
involvement with Jennifer Fry, a gorgeous socialite famous
for her style and charm, was not surprising. But by the
time Robert met and married Jennifer, he had already
been involved with a man
—
Gerald, Lord
Berners—
for
more than a decade.
Stout, eccentric and significantly older, Gerald was a
composer, writer and aesthete
—
a creative aristocrat most
at home in the company of the era s best and brightest
minds. He also owned one of Britain s loveliest stately
homes,
Faringdon
House, in Oxfordshire, which under his
stewardship became a beacon of sybaritic beauty. Robert
and Gerald made an unlikely couple, especially because
they lived together at
Faringdon
House when homosex¬
uality was illegal. And then a pregnant Jennifer moved
into
Faringdon
in
1942,
creating a formidable
ménage
à trois.
In this gorgeous, entertaining narrative of
bohemian
aristocracy, Sofka Zinovieff probes the mysteries of her
grandparents and the third man in their marriage: Gerald,
the complex and talented heir to a legendary house, its
walls lined with priceless art and its gardens roamed by a
bevy of doves, where he entertained everyone from Igor
Stravinsky to Gertrude Stein. What brought Robert and
Jennifer together under his roof, and why did Jennifer
stay
—
and marry Robert?
Blending memoir and biography in her quest to lay
old ghosts to rest, Zinovieff pieces together the compli¬
cated reality behind the scandals of revelry and sexuality.
The resulting story, defined by keen insight, deep affection
and marvelous wit, captures the glory and indulgence of
the age, and explores the many ways in which we have
the capacity to love,
